feet per day of natural gas from 

production fields in eastern Texas to

The Draft EIS addresses the potential 

environmental impacts resulting from 

the construction and operation of the 

following facilities:

pipeline extending easterly from 

Simpson County, Mississippi to 

Choctaw County, Alabama;
